E’ tra le canzoni di Natale più famose e anche quest’anno di sicuro, vi capiterà di ascoltarla. Noi intanto vi riportiamo il suo testo e la traduzione:

Oh Holy Night

Oh holy night!

                               The stars are brightly shining

                               It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!

                               Long lay the world in sin and error pining

                               Till he appear’d and the soul felt its worth.

                               A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices

                               For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

                                              Fall on your knees

                                              Oh hear the angel voices

                                              Oh night divine

                                              Oh night when Christ was born

                                              Oh night divine

                                              Oh night divine

                               Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming

                               With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand

                               So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming

                               Here come the wise men from Orient land

                               The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger

                               In all our trials born to be our friend.

                               Truly He taught us to love one another

                               His law is love and His gospel is peace

                               Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother

                               And in His name all oppression shall cease

                               Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,

                               Let all within us praise His holy name.

Oh Notte Santa

Oh Notte Santa
Le stelle stanno splendendo brillanti
Questa è la notte della nascita
Del nostro caro Salvatore
Per tanto tempo il mondo è rimasto
Nel peccato e nell’errore
Finché Lui apparve e l’anima sentì il suo valore

Un fremito di speranza
Allieta il mondo stanco
Perchè laggiù comincia un nuovo e glorioso mattino
Cadi in ginocchio

Oh, ascolta le voci degli angeli
Oh, Notte Divina
Oh, la notte quando Cristo nacque
Oh, Notte Divina
Oh, Notte, Notte Divina

Un fremito di speranza
Allieta il mondo stanco
Perchè laggiù comincia un nuovo e glorioso mattino
Cadi in ginocchio

Oh, ascolta le voci degli angeli
Oh, Notte Divina
Oh, la notte quando Cristo nacque
Oh, Notte Divina
Oh, Notte, Notte Divina
